“…This hypothesis is important, as research suggests that the perceptions of young people on their SC are not always in line with those of their peers (Bédard, Bouffard, & Pansu, ). This discrepancy is quite common among young children (Harter, ), but as children mature, these views begin to be more congruent with their peers’ (Salley, Vannatta, Gerhardt, & Noll, ).…”

We examined the perceptual discrepancy profiles between self‐ and peers, and self‐ and teacher evaluations of adolescents’ social competence (SC) and the interrelations of these profiles with self‐reported depressive symptoms. The participants were 390 Finnish lower secondary school pupils. Latent profile analysis revealed five classes of discrepancy profiles; adolescents with congruent perceptions, quite congruent perceptions, and positively discrepant perceptions of SC reported lower scores of depressive symptoms, whereas those with negatively and extremely positively discrepant perceptions of SC reported the highest scores of depressive symptoms. The larger the discrepancy between self‐ and others’ evaluations of SC were, the more depressive symptoms were reported. The results indicate that interventions designed to mitigate depression need to be tailored to individual needs.

Objective: To assess self-perceptions of social behavior among children treated for a brain tumor and comparison children. To investigate group differences in the accuracy of children’s self-perceptions as measured by discrepancies between self and peer reports of social behavior and to understand if these phenomena differ by gender. Method: Self and peer report of social behavior were obtained in the classrooms of 116 children who were treated for an intracranial tumor. Social behaviors were assessed utilizing the Revised Class Play (RCP) which generates indices for 5 behavioral subscales: Leadership-popularity, Prosocial, Aggressive-disruptive, Sensitive-isolated, and Victimization. A child matched for gender, race, and age, was selected from each survivor’s classroom to serve as a comparison. Abbreviated IQ scores were obtained in participants’ homes. Results: Relative to comparison children, those who had undergone treatment for a brain tumor overestimated their level of Leadership-popularity and underestimated levels of Sensitive-isolated behaviors and Victimization by peers. Female survivors were more likely to underestimate Sensitive-isolated behaviors and Victimization than male survivors. Conclusion: Following treatment for a brain tumor, children (particularly girls) may be more likely to underestimate peer relationship difficulties than healthy children. These discrepancies should be considered when obtaining self-report from survivors and developing interventions to improve social functioning.

“…The results of previous research indicate that initially, the assessment of the child him/herself and the others is not connected with external criteria (Marsh and Shavelson, 1985) and is burdened with an overestimation of the child's own abilities, which is characteristic for early childhood (Dweck, 2002). However, with the gradual inclusion of other people as a source of information about the child (Salley, Vannatta, Gerhardt and Noll, 2010), this assessment becomes, starting from about eight years of age (Cole, Jacquez and Maschman, 2001), more abstract and complex, based on a larger number of psychological descriptors (Anderman and Maehr, 1994) and -consequently -closer to reality (Wigfield et al, 1997).…”

The dynamics of perception of social integration in primary school. The latent growth curve model

The article discusses the specific character of changes in the assessment of the sense of social integration in the classroom between primary school third-and sixth-graders, and their social, demographic and cognitive determinants, with special consideration given to a pupil's position in the sociometric network. The analysis of latent growth curves -based on a scalar longitudinal measurement invariance, the bifactor model of the Perceived Peer Integration Questionnaire (PPI) and three rounds of the nationwide study School determinants of educational effectiveness (N = 4349) -indicates that the second stage of learning in primary school is characterised by a more negative perception of peer integration in classroom settings, which cannot be explained by socio--demographic variables nor the relationships taking place within peer networks. This indicates that it may be linked to developmental changes rather than to the actual deterioration of peer relations.
